Ingredients
-
1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
-
¼ cup shortening
-
1 egg
-
¼ cup milk
-
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 cup unsulfured molasses
-
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
-
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
6 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 egg, beaten
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
Beat brown sugar and shortening together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in 1 egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in molasses, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix in flour until the dough is stiff enough to roll out.
-
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into cookies using a pig-shaped cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops of the cookies with beaten egg.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until risen and edges are lightly browned, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool briefly on cookie sheets; serve warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook’s Note
You may wish to add a bit of dry ground ginger, and you may use a milk wash instead of an egg wash.
